“Really enjoyed going to see the Tram Museum with my son, there is a lot of history there to learn for the elderly and the young. I will also like to say what a wonderful job your volunteers have done restoring the Tram and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride on the Tram”

NATHAN WEBB

“What a terrific little tram museum. All photos from days gone by. Also had a tram ride up and down the tracks. The volunteers could not be prouder. As they should. You can just feel the happiness. We loved it. Highly recommended. Support this you will love it”
